Hi Meng Lee,

Let me know when. Interested to see how you guys do imaging.

But I cannot use the C8 until the eq mount arrives.

Hi, its a welcoming response from so many of you.

I have been busy with my research.

Then got to prepare the packing for the June Desaru Trip. I will try to do some "stunts" after this new moon and before the Desaru trip.

Yes, the cupboards are still there. Oh yes, Desaru Golden Beach is a nice place. Wit solid ground, power supply, some red wine to drink during stargazing!

Yes, a very nice annual retreat that I look forward so much...

This time round the rooms will be closer to the observation field, so bring on those heavy stuff you got.

what are you going to do with the cupboard on the roof?

Hi Meng Lee, think you might like to know about this.

We were doing some recce in NUS last week and we found an interesting spot in NUS. At YIH four floor, using the staircase beside Cheers and Subway, there are two open area beside the corridor. Did i forget to mention abt the direct lift access from the grd floor? The lights from the sport field and expressway are covered up by the trees, resulting in better light adaptation. There are few buildings around the ob site and we could see a hugh part of the sky. we could see the entire crux clearly. The only drawback is the placement of the air condition units in the area, making the place warmer then the surroundings.
